Boil the noodles, drain all the water. Add back a little bit of cold water. Add half the seasoning pouch, some soy sauce, a little sriracha, and a spoonful of peanut butter.
If you ever see me drinking a Bud Light Lime, talking about Bud Light Lime, or requesting a Bud Light Lime, that means I’m likely being held against my will. Come back with the police.
A raspberry pi4, Home Assistant software, a zigbee dongle, and any zigbee-compatible smart bulb.
By default, the traffic never leaves your local network, and all your smart-crap still works if the internet goes out. At one point, it had a learning curve like a brick wall, but over the last year or two, they've done a spectacular job of improving the user experience. it's still not perfect, but it's far better than the commercial alternatives and won't harvest your entire life for metadata it can sell.
It’s also not about what data they hold, but what data they have access to.
To you, it’s a light bulb, but internally, it’s a network-connected microcontroller, meaning it’s also connected to everything else in your network.
It theoretically could scan and exploit any number of security holes in other devices, including but not limited to phones and desktops.
Even if the manufacturer is ethical with it, other nefarious actors can use it as an attack point to try to gain deeper access. Some of these devices run a full Linux install internally, and if you know how, you can even get a shell session open on them.
Actually, it was CONSIDERABLY more expensive. Like, multiple times the entire price of Sylius for a single year of the Magento enterprise agreement.
We budgeted $600K for the replatform. The project went massively over budget and three years after I left, they STILL hadn’t moved to the new platform.
Then they dropped Magento 2, started a replatform to Shopify, and last I heard they let the entire remaining dev team go.
We told them in no uncertain words that Magento2 wasn’t right. But they chose to ignore the people that knew what they were talking about and push their own choice forward because we had previously used Magento1. Moron management would not listen to us when we told them the platforms were not compatible and that we got absolutely zero benefit from running Magento1.
But you know what, fuck then. I got a better job, a promotion, 30% more pay, and I’m 100% work from home now.
We were looking to replatform our aging e-commerce site.
With management approval, we spent weeks researching and narrowed it down to two possibilities - Magento 2 and Sylius.
We then divided our team in half. Half of us took one possible platform, the rest took the other. Each team was given an identical list of tasks, and the goal was to implement as much of the list as we could in two weeks.
At the end of the period, the Sylius team had not only completed every single item on the list, but had so much extra time they were able to implement some cool “nice to have” features we’d always wanted on the site but never had time for.
The Magento2 team didn’t even get the software fully installed and working much less even start chipping away at the list.
We all met and stacked hands - Sylius was the way we were gonna go. We were a big enough fish that we even got the company that made the software to commit to flying one of their developers out to our office and working alongside us.
Then the company put us all into a room and told us the decision would be Magento2 - now come to that agreement.
I live in TN and have a carry permit. Last week, I had to drive up to PA.
During the drive, I passed through TN, VA, WV, MD, and PA. Every single state honored my permit except for Maryland. I had to stop in WV, disarm myself, unload the gun, then lock the gun and ammo into SEPARATE locking compartments in the trunk. In order to be legal by federal law, I had to straight-through Maryland without stopping. Fortunately, on 81, Maryland is only like 15 minutes, but still - if I had had some kind of emergency, had to get off the highway, and got pulled over for any reason, it would have been a firearms charge.
I pulled off at a gas station to do the unload, got witnessed by some random lady getting gas, who promptly panicked, jumped in her car, and sped off. I expected to get blue-lighted the entire way to PA after that.
I'm really fucking tired of the inconsistency. Make some laws, fine, but make them fucking consistent. Don't make me have to spend an hour online digging through different states' laws just to make sure I don't become an accidental felon.
20K above average? Not a chance in hell. For all the reports of how shitty the work environment is at ALL of his companies, coupled with the constant need to push far past whats ethical, or in some cases even legal... no.
Fuck no.
Not a chance in hell.
Now, throw me 500% of the average and maybe we'll talk. But You'd only get a year from me. Two tops. Just enough to pay off my bills. Then I'm gonna tell you to fuck off.
There's a big difference between "Bless me father for I have sinned" and "I'm sorry daddy, I've been a bad girl".
